Go Beyond CAD File Management with Autodesk Vault

Your design files are now managed perfectly with PDM. Now what?

If you manage your CAD files with Product Data Management (PDM), then you have taken the first critical step in developing your PDM strategy.

Now, the seemingly uncontrollable design files your engineering team creates are under control. With PDM in place, it’s likely your engineers waste less time, your product costs are going down, your product quality is improving, and your development cycles are shorter because your engineers are working better as a team.

So, what’s next? What else can you get from all of this beautifully managed data?
As it turns out, quite a bit. PDM can be about much more than CAD file management. Consider these process-related challenges you likely deal with regularly:
